*** Official IOWA STATE vs #23 Texas Game(Day) THREAD ***

Must be nice to be able to run the ball

 

[jsb]

This team might not be good right now and we might need a new OC next year, but they keep fighting. Sometimes I just need to step back and appreciate that. It's not the most important thing, but it is something.

 

[HFCS]

Breece covered up bad goal line play calling for two years.

Second down was a total waste of a play but w Breece those two runs are probably getting us near the goal line.

 

[cyclones500]

He has a horrible mullet

Isn't that redundant?

 

[ianoconnor]

That was… an interesting kickoff

Looked like he might have slipped or had some sort of issue

 

[cyfanbr]

That was… an interesting kickoff

Looked like the kicker slipped during the kick, but it worked out ok.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Texas waking up

 

[clonedude]

They playing for the field goal?

I thought they were definitely pulling a KF and just playing for a FG. Glad they didn't.

 

[Didley]

Same route every time for Texas

 

[Thomasrickj]

Isn't that redundant?

That made me jajaja a little bit.

 

[ClonerJams]

Nice play by McLaughlin filling in for Reeder

We miss Brock.

 

[joefrog]

That was a great drive for the TD. Very well called and executed. That is what I have wanted/expected from this bunch.

I'll gladly eat crow if they keep that up.

 

[StLouisClone]

Defense came to play

 

[LtRaczack]

Well, this is a promising start!!!

 

[Darius Bieber]

Looks like they’re really going after the right side of the defense on passes

 

[CycloneJoe6]

Man great tackle there!

 

[Iluvteak]

That was… an interesting kickoff

Did he intend to squib it. Kicker fell down haha

 

[stewart092284]

Good play calling on that drive. Good execution by Dekkers. Finally.

this is why I'm frustrated this year. Because despite the overall theme on the board - Manning is not a terrible OC. But yet the play calling and offense has been terrible and inconsistent - not even talking about the talent etc. But how inconsistently some of these schemes have appeared then disappeared. Its like he has a personality change mid drive or mid game -

But its just too consistent. Now we needs to discover a third running play.

I get its only the 1st quarter and all, but THIS is the Texas team that was supposed to be back again? They look like the same team but just with a better QB
